If we can provide documentation showing that the Imperials are heretics
of the worst kind - worshiping a man as a god, would the Banner be
willing to help us remove them from our land?

Let it be known that the Barbarians will support any and all factions
     that rise up to war with the Imperials over this matter.

This means no more raids, no more wanton destruction, no more war with
     those factions that take up arms against the Imperials in an effort to
     remove them from Midgard.

The Imperials are out to slowly but surely continue what they
     started--the eventual complete domination and subjugation of ALL
     Midgardian natives.  If you allow them to destroy the Merc Verk (which
     they WILL end up doing in the end--there is no way the Merc Verk will
     give their cities away, which WILL mean a full-scale Merc
     Verk/Imperial war...) then next will be the Blood and Fire, then the
     Society of Arms, then the Ring, then--your family's faction.

I have chosen to take the first step in supporting the Merc Verk in this
     matter.  I, who up until now have been a great enemy of the Merc Verk, have
     decided to put aside the past.  If I can do this, so can you.  Work now,
     while there is still time, to remove the Imperials from your homeland, and
     I VOW that after they are sent to Moorlock we can together take the war to
     THEIR home and let THEM live under OUR rule for a thousand years.

Hail and Well Met to all Midgardian Citizens!

It pains me that my first official decree as Imperial Senior #1 on
the Midgard Mailing List is a proclomation of war.
 In response to the Merc Verks wanton destruction of Fanglan and
burning of an Imperial Legate which also resulted in the loss of Midgard
citizens including city personnel who fought to put out the fires, the
Imperials officially declare war on the Merc Verk.  Neither the destruction
of Legates nor heinous actions to the detriment of the common citizens shall
be tolerated by this administration.
 It shall also be the policy of this administration to act in a
straightforward manner with all factions.  Therefore, we issue this decree
BEFORE actually engaging the Merc Verk.  Imperial Troops will be moving to
siege various MV cities and arrest MV clans.  Let it be known that Imperial
Troops WILL attempt to take these cities with a MINIMUM of property damage
and force.  NO actions will be directed at civilians (unless they take up
arms.  NO fires will be started.  Regimental commanders will be under orders
for no looting, pillaging, raping, etc.).  No Offices or Temples will be
tampered with.  In short, we will attempt to leave all property and populace
in tact to the best of our abilities within a military framework.
 If the MV are truly operating in the best interests of Midgardian
citizens then they will simply surrender 3 cities to the Imperials and
construct 5 new Imperial Legates so no life is lost and no property damaged.
Many will see these demands as extreme.  These are the repurcussions for
tampering with even a single Legate.  And the MV were warned at Losteen.
For further evidence of our "overkill" response tactics please refer to
our factional goals text in the Appendix of your rulebook.
 The MV will also be expected to publicly apologize for their actions
at Fanglan and pay war reparations to Serk refugees.  The Imperials invite
other factional seniors to show their support for offense at the tragedy at
Fanglan by the MV by either signaling approval to the Imperial Decree or
publicly expressing their own disapproval directly to the MV.

On a somewhat more positive note, the Imperials are also moving to
assist the Getham to relieve Lakehed (or whatever is left of it).  The
Buccaneer presence (if still there) will be removed.

Subject: MID: Email and other Communications

TO ALL MIDGARD PLAYERS!!

This is a reminder,

1) All game interactions are supposed to be "wholesome" among players,
without being derogatory, and

2) Role-playing is a major part of the game, please try to learn to separate
the game character, from the player.. there sometimes is a major difference
between the two.

3) Remember, whatever you send by Email can be printed out for later use.
 Similar to phone conversations which may be taped, not all communications
remain private!

I would like to add one final point.... This is a GAME!!  Keep that
perspective and ALL will have fun.  Lose touch with that perspective and it
becomes unbearable.

Thanks for your attention to this important matter,

Friends and Foes alike,

I must respond to the Barbarians bold statement.  First of all, if we were
looking for a fight with the Merk Verk we would of attacked them they closed
down the Legate in Losteen!  we did respond with a warning to the Merk Verk,
and the fire that the commander started at Losteen did destroy a Legate.
 What good would are word be if we did not respond to this distruction of
Imperial Property.  Of course we are still working with the Merk Verk on a
Peaceful settlement.  Second, The Imperials have added many benifits to
MIdgard, this ploy by the Barbarians is to divide the Factions of Midgard
against one another thus weakening us for a Barbarian invaision.  I also ask
you this, are the Barbarians going to leave thier Longboats and attack our
INLAND cities.  I think not.  And who stops the Barbarians, in the unlikely
event that the united forces defeat the Imperials, all factions will be
weakened greatly!  It would be a mistake to take on the Imperilas an even
greater one to ally with the Barbarians.

Subject: MID: OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS

In an effort to clarrify a somewhat important matter,

The only OFFICIAL platforms for communications, within the game are...

1)  Your turn results, both player and senior,

2)  The Midgard Report ( and some of this can be rumor and inuendo).

3)  The Midgard Rules

Official communications must be in writing and sent to/thru the GMs.  All
other foms of communications are, unofficial player banter.

Communications to any of the "Zero" positions will be handled as follows:

1)  Same cycle if you are a Senior within the faction of the Zero in
question.

2)  Next cycle if you are a Senior outside of the faction of the Zero in
question.. assuming that it will dain to talk with you at all.  Barbarian
Seniors (for example) should not expect a response from Praetor Immanus of
the Imperials.

3)  Next cycle if you are less than a Senior of the faction of the Zero in
question... assuming that it will dain to talk with one of such a rank.  Each
Faction has its own attitude on this matter.

Hopefully this will help clear the waters on communications in general.
 Remember that the "real" world today has vastly superior capabilities to
that of the Ancient to Midevil time frame, that which this game is set in.  A
happy balance MUST be struck and we are trying to do that.

No one is arguing with you over this.  The above are known facts.

Once again, no one is denying this.  Taking three cities from a faction,
however, for the actions of one (or even several) guilty clan(s) is
considered by most (even we barbarians) to be, shall we say, somewhat
extreme.  Still, if you have the power to do this, it is within your rights
to do so.

Such as?

Every leader of every faction (except yours, I see) surely realizes that the
barbarians do not seek to "invade" Midgard.  Over 99.99% of our population
are still living peaceful (for a barbarian, anyway) lives in our homeland.
We are here simply to raid, have fun, and generally let everyone know that no
matter how prosperous they are today, disaster and death COULD be just a
day's sail away...

Oh really?  Do you think we are incapable of fighting land battles?  Tell me,
young one, what _other_ fairy tales do you believe in?

You _are_ worried, aren't you?  If the great houses of Midgard once again unite
and overthrow their Imperial masters, it is a certainty that they would have no
trouble dealing with what remains of barbarian "invaders."

Now that I've seen your true character, I think what will happen is you will
retract your "Decree" and _you_ will apologize for insulting the mercenaries.
You are frightened of what might happen should the families unite against you.
You know full well that you are not capable of defending _all_ your stolen
properties.  And you know that you can not hope to match the command skills of
some of the most battle-hardened religious and secular family leaders the world
has ever seen.  You should return to your home now, where you still may have
some say in matters.

Subject: MID: RE: TOO MUCH INFLUENCE

The following message got lost in the bit bucket earlier...

USAMIDGARD@aol.com sent this on Thu, 8 Feb 1996 14:00:58 -0500:

To One And All:

As to the possibility the the Dallas Group of Players has more sway with the
GMs and the way the game is run, no ONE person or GROUP of people, that
communicate with us, has any more influence than anyother.  On the otherhand,
IF you DO NOT talk to us, we do not know your views and feelings.  We will
listen to everyone and consider what is said, then do what WE feel is the
correct thing to do or not to do.

This brings up a matter that has been expressed in the recent past by several
current players concerning "OLD" players returning to the game with all their
real world and game experience.  There is really nothing that can be done and
that may be perceived as a problem with any PBM game, or any other game for
that matter; an EXPERIENCED player has an advantage over one that is not.

With any game, PBM or otherwise, yur experiences or lack of them can be a
help or hindrance.  Please, remember that we are trying to create a specific
time period.  Things known in our "real" world, may or may not be allowed in
the game since they would unbalance play in that time frame.  Some things may
be denied today, but accepted later as the existing system is expanded to
allow for the new item that is desired.  The time frame we are trying to
recreate is the Ancient/Midieval period with all the benefits and limitations
of that time frame.

Let's summarize the above, a player with the following will have an
advantage....

1)  Common Sense!!!
2)  If you have ever played table-top-miniatures
(Ancients/Midieval/Renaissance etc) since this is a predominately land based
combat period.
3)  If you have played any other PBM game.
4)  If you ask questions and DO NOT ASSUME anything MUST work in a specific
way.  The GMs and many players (Most of The Seniors) are more than happy to
answer any questions that you might have.
5)  Remember, especially in combat, "KEEP IT SIMPLE", allow your troops to
use their factional advantages and do not overly restrict them in their use
of them.
6)  Also, remember that your opponent may be doing special actions also, and
these special actions may counter your special actions.
7)  Finally, remember that a battle plan lasts only until first contact, then
your opponent has a major say in what happens from then on...  DO NOT fall
into the trap of establishing your plan and expecting 100% success.  This
will only result in extreme disappointment and WILL make you vulnerable to
the more flexible battle plan.

As the old saying goes, "A word to the wise!!"

Most factional commanders would have thought to request (nay, demand!) a
complete financial/military statement (ooc: city turn printout) for a city they
were thinking of purchasing BEFORE actually signing a bill of sale.  I guess
Imperial commanders do things a bit differently in their homeland than do the
peoples of Midgard.  At any rate, it is clear who is at fault here--lazy
Imperial bookkeepers.

You need to send your Imperial accountants and/or lawyers back to the
university; everyone in Midgard knows that only the "letter" of the law is
enforceable.  The "spirit" of the law can not stand--this because every faction
(every _person_, for that matter...) has its/his own definition of the "spirit
of the law."  The "letter of the law," however, can not be questioned or
debated.

Hello!  You have already practically declared war on the Merc Verk.  Do you
honestly believe that the enemy that you have created will pay you even one gold
crown until you wake up from whatever black lotus-induced dream you are now
living in?

Hello again!  The Merc Verk are MERCENARIES.  They are out to make MONEY for
SERVICES.  Honor and nobility, which may be important to most Merc Verk officers
and rank soldiers, is won or lost on the battlefield--not in the counting
houses.  Your bankers and lawyers are solely to blame.  Send them to your
homeland for re-schooling--obviously they are too remedial to be accepted in any
Midgardian university.

Sheesh!  I never thought I'd see the day when me, a simple barbarian (by the
way--we call YOU barbarians in MY homeland...) would be coming to the defense of
the Merc Verk by giving an Imperial lackey a lesson in Midgardian finance and
salesmanship.

war.  Hiring the MV to take our cities is not what we call reasonable.
 Placing a bounty on my head is not a way to talk peace.  The war is over the

Subject: MID: Midgard History

Greetings to all!

Much has been said about the Imperials and their policies as of late.
I have factional emissaries and messengers arriving at unprecedented rates
while I travel in the field.  Recently, I have been told that even the
Barbarians are sending messengers, no doubt full of mindless prattle and
besmerching the Imperials good name.  Rumors are even filtering in that the
Barbarians trying to pass their diplomats off as MV emissaries.  Imagine a
Barbarian speaking on behalf of the MV?!  I have no doubt that these rumors
are just that; then again, the MV's actions at Fanglan would suggest....
no, I won't even consider the possibility.  At any rate, I have continually
dispatched responses indicating that the Imperials actions are in response
to the Legate destruction and MV crimes at Fanglan.  We have no need to
take cities by force without undue cause and are working on a solution
which would allow the MV to keep their cities; not the work of a someone
trying to take over the world?!
	I have also noticed in an increase in messengers popping up with
stories of atrocious acts committed against common folk from many factions.
It seems there are many factions committed to preserving the law and seeing
that justice is done.  Any several of these factions have publicly or
privately ASKED for Imperial intervention!  Now you know that the Imperials
are sworn to stay out of political matters that involve problems between
the families and relgions.  But when these problems spill into crimes
against civilians that threaten the common good of ALL factions, the
Imperials will take it upon themselves to provide law and order when
no one else will.  The Imperials care for Midgardian civilians as much
as any faction (perhaps a little more than some factions have shown).
However, under no circumstances will the Imperials become involved without
written documented proof of the injustices (e.g., CVR's, city reports,
battle reports, Senior interaction letters with model, etc.).  Simply
screaming "CRIME" and telling your side of the story will not suffice.
Some factions have been known to "embellish" their stories and as such
we must rely on reports from local Imperial Magistrates and Imperial
citizens of high stature.  So for all who send communiques either
defending their side of the story or telling stories of new atrocities,
you must provide proof or the Imperials WILL NOT intervene.  Written
documented proof had been provided for the incidents at Fanglan and at
Lakehed.  Others claims are being investigated but some may require
written proof beyond Imperial informants to verify.  The Imperials are
dedicated to maintaining law and order and will attempt to check all
claims in a timely and fair manner.  Again, so as to show that we are
not above the law, this also includes supposed crimes committed by
Imperial troops and clans.  These will be just as ferociously and fairly
pursued as other claims.  This administration is sworn to fairplay in
all matters.
	Lastly, on to a matter of interest that I feel needs to be
addressed in regard to Midgardian History.  The scribes of Midgard have
carefully and diligently recorded the history of Midgard in their precious
tomes (see also the Midgard Rulebook).  But they are inadequate.  The
Empire has existed for thousands of years long before recorded Midgardian
history.  The Empire has a presence all over the world with Midgard
representing a small piece.  As such, our scholars have maintained
written history long before Midgard became inhabited.  Midgardian culture
is in but its infancy while the Empire is old but still in its prime.
You should know then that the Empire laid claim and colonized Midgard
thousands of years before your "Barbarians" marked the beginning of
Midgard culture.  The Barbarians drove out the Imperial colonies,
slaughtering tens of thousands civilians (we had precious little military
forces back then) and took the continent for themselves.  Hundreds of years
later your culture had evolved with the Barbarians relegated to their
homeland and many new families and religions quarreling over the who had
the right to lead.
	It was at this time that the Imperials returned to RECLAIM their
rightful lands and avenge the deaths from many generations past.  This is
where most of recent Midgardian history begins.  As you can see, Midgardian
scribes were unaware of what occurred hundreds of years earlier and thus
cannot be faulted for lack of knowledge.  However, all of this history
is well-scribed in Imperial Libraries back in the Homeland.  Perhaps, some
factions would like to arrange to send some envoys to confirm this.
I will also try to arrange an exhibit from the Homeland in our new museum
at Lemlot that further displays these ancient writings for all to see.
	So you can see that the Imperials are NOT truly invaders.  We
came to re-establish our rightful presence.  We now share this land with
all Midgardian factions but will act as Law when any threaten its well-being.
	As a point of interest we do not lay claim to the Barbarian's
homeland so they are welcome to say but if they land on the coasts of
the Midgard continent they will be met with extreme prejudice as ancient
hatreds are renewed.  We also do not lay claim to the Southern Continent.
So again I say, if we are so expansionistic why do we not seek to covet
the numerous southern continent cities with virtually no defenses?!  And
as one last point of contention since I'm sure it will come up.  Just
because we don't lay claim to the Barbarian's homeland doesn't mean we
might not show up unexpectedly and pay our respects.

To a more enlightened Midgard and in humble service to the Empire
